. Gold has a density of 19.32 g/cm3. If a square pyramid has a base edge length of 5 cm, height of 6 cm, and a mass of 942 g, is

the pyramid in fact solid gold? If it is not, what reasons could explain why it is not? Recall that density can be calculated with the formula density=mass /volume

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * area of base * height  = 1/3 * 6 * 5^2

= 50 cm^3.

Now we work out the density assuming it is solid gold

Density = mass / volume = 942 / 50 = 18.84, but the density of gold is 19.32 g/cm^3  so the pyramid cannot be solid gold.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: It is not made of gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

density = 19.32 g/cm³

side = 5 cm

height = 6 cm

mass = 942 g

Formula

                          V = \frac{1}{3} L^{2}  h

L² = 5 x 5 = 25 cm²

                          V = \frac{1}{3} 25 x 6

                          V = 50 cm³

density = 942 g / 50 cm³

            = 18.84 g/cm³  

It is not made of gold because the density calculated is lower than the density reported in books.

In a clinical study, volunteers are tested for a gene that has been found to increase the risk for a disease. The probability th
MrRa [10]

Answer:

a) 0.984

b) 20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

If The probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 2 should carry the gene.

Now, we want to know how many samples there are with this property.

Since we have 20 elements where 18 are alike (do not carry the gene) and 2 are alike (carry the gene), we have to compute the number of permutations of 20 elements in which 18 are alike and 2 are alike. This number is

\frac{20!}{18!2!}=190

In this 190 20-tuples there are only 3 where the 2 carriers of the gene are in the first 3 places, namely

(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

where 1=carries the gene, 0=does not carry the gene.

So there are 190-3 = 187 elements in which the first 3 elements have no 2 carriers, hence the probability that 4 or more people will have to be tested until 2 of them with the gene are detected is 187/190 = 0.984 (98.4%) rounded to three decimal places.

b)

Given that the probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 20*0.1 = 2 should carry the gene.

Newton’s law of universal gravitation, F=Gm1m2/r²,measures the force of gravity between two masses m1 and m2,where r is the dist
Pavel [41]

Answer:

G=\frac{Fr^2}{m_1m_2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our equation is F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} and we want to solve for G, first we divide both sides by the product m_1m_2, which gives:

\frac{F}{m_1m_2}=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{m_1m_2r^2}=\frac{G}{r^2}

So we are left with:

\frac{F}{m_1m_2}=\frac{G}{r^2}

Now we multiply both sides by r^2, which gives:

\frac{Fr^2}{m_1m_2}=\frac{Gr^2}{r^2}=G

Which gives us our final formula:

G=\frac{Fr^2}{m_1m_2}
